It’s been absolutely freezing the past few days, I hope you all are rugged up in your warm jackets. It’s weather like this that has me dreaming of bubbling hot pots, spicy food and steaming clay pot rice~
And for clay pot rice, where else but Kwan Kee~
Judging by the many times I tried calling to make a reservation and only to be met with the response ‘we’re full’, shows just how popular this place is. After so many failed attempts, we just decided to go there on a whim and see if we could line up for a table. And lucky us, arriving after 9pm, we were directed straight to a table of two, no wait~
Cramped, tight seating and I’m pretty sure the question of hygiene lingers in the mind, but we’re here for the food…
The signature pepper pork bone soup was good~ A big steaming pot of savoury collagen soup full of chopped bones, dried sheets of bean curd, daikon and a basket of lettuce on the side. I loooved sucking the fatty bone marrow from the bones, really unladylike I know, but irresistible… Ideal to share between 4-6 people, we did very well in nearly finishing it, just the two of us :p
Typhoon prawns, medium spicy. Halved prawns, lightly fried buried in a mountain of fried garlic and chili. Crunchy and fragrant, pretty addictive, but there were only 5 or 6 prawns… a pretty measly portion.
The claypot rice takes a while to arrive since it is cooked fresh on the burner, but it’s worth the wait. Piping hot rice topped with chicken, preserved duck and an order of liver sausage. Spoon the dark soy sauce over the rice and dig in~ Enjoy the fluffy rice that has soaked up the juices from the meat and scrape up the crunchy rice bits that have formed on the bottom of the pot~
Oh they have glass bottled coke too 🙂
Satisfied~ just a note though, they stop taking orders for clay pot rice at 10.30pm so make sure you come before then.
